Antique 19th Century Plaster Lions Head

Antique 19th century gilded plaster lion’s head

This distinctive Victorian wall mount depicts a stately lion’s head. It was cast in plaster and gilded in France during the 19th century, reflecting the decorative taste of the period.

With its expressive features and timeworn surface, it would make a striking addition to a rustic interior or a cabinet of curiosities.

After more than a century, the wall mount remains in worn condition and shows clear signs of age. Over time, part of the original gilded surface has worn away, creating a naturally distressed patina that adds depth and character to the piece. The surface has been treated with a protective clear varnish to stabilise the remaining gilding and to provide a subtle sheen.
